[rl]MOBILE, Ala. - Practice has begun for the Alabama-Mississippi All-Star game and while the stars are attracting their share of attention, some lesser known prospects are also taking advantage of their time in the all-star spotlight.

Rivals.com Recruiting Analyst Barry Every took in Mississippi's afternoon session and gives his thoughts on some of the top prospects at the practice.

Areas of improvement: Definitely needs to gain some weight and strength, currently is only around 160 pounds.

What was most impressive in practice: He was one of the few guys that got deep and made a nice reception.

Conclusion: Also is a baseball star (shortstop), which explains his hand-eye coordination. He said he prefers football and I think he will get serious looks from mid-level D-I schools before signing day.

Assets: Great height for a corner at 6 feet 1, and very good ball skills.

Areas of improvement: Needs to continue to work hard on his academics.

What was most impressive in practice: He has really good hips for a big corner, and goes full speed on every practice snap.

Conclusion: I became aware of Lawrence after my visit to Ocean Springs this fall. He is a definite candidate for a bump up in the rankings. He is also worth signing and placing because he is a big-time prospect that can match up with taller receivers.

Areas of improvement: He also needs to not get any heavier than he already is.

What was most impressive in practice: His footwork is above average in run blocking and pass protection.

Conclusion: He should make an excellent offensive guard or center for Ole Miss. His current ranking at three stars is probably accurate.
